Of course I had never heard about this 2023 horror comedy from writer and director Anthony Catanese prior to stumbling upon it by random chance. And believing it to be a spoof on the classic 1980 movie "Caddy Shack", and given the fact that it was a horror comedy that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to sit down and watch the movie.
I have to admit that I sat down to watch the movie with absolutely no expectations, so writer and director Anthony Catanese had every opportunity to impress, bedazzle and entertain me with "Caddy Hack". However, he didn't manage to do so.
The storyline in "Caddy Hack" was simplistic and not particularly funny. And despite of the movie running for only a mere 75 minutes, it was quite a struggle to sit through given the lousy writing that compiled the storyline and script.
The acting performances in "Caddy Hack" were pretty dubious. Some of the actors and actresses were unable to hold a straight face while delivering their dialogue, or while others were delivering their dialogue. And some of them were unable to not stare right into the camera during their scenes. It should also be noted that some of the actors and actresses on the cast list were actually fair enough, and they certainly did their part to carry the movie.
Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list here in this movie. Nor can I claim that I was impressed with what I witnessed on the screen.
The special effects in the movie were exactly just that; special. The gophers looked just like plush toys and it was so difficult to take it serious, despite it supposed to be a horror comedy. It was just so amazingly low budget and low key.
Now, I am sure that there actually is an audience out there for a low budget horror comedy such as "Caddy Hack". I just happened not to be a part of that particular audience.
The movie's cover/poster was actually the best part about the ordeal.
My rating of "Caddy Hack" lands on a two out of ten stars.
